of youngsters also getting the chance to make a television report. out of the many that have been made today, this story made for bbc spotlight particularly caught our eye. i'm brian. i'm matt. i'm adrian. i'm maggie and i have been playing men's cricket for a number of seasons. the problem facing girls in rural devon is that there are not many teams to join to play cricket with. one solution is that they play with men sides. it's about participation. it's a great idea, it's brilliant you can play on an equal footing. my team—mates are very supportive and a lwa ys team—mates are very supportive and always have been but not everyone is so always have been but not everyone is so enamoured by the idea of women playing in eight men's team. i've been to see my friend, the manager of totte n ha m been to see my friend, the manager of tottenham ladies cricket club. when i was a child they would say

they have a girl playing, it makes you feel less confident but the teams i have played in work always supportive because my team—mates believed in me, it made me believe in myself. i would like to see women's cricket and women's sport in general feeling better respected, because people being rude on the sidelines is stopping girls playing sport, which is important for their physical health and mental well—being. but i'm told that things have improved. in devon it has progressed very well, we have 13 women's clubs, we have to softball friendlies, the girls have won national titles across the country and i'm pretty sure it remains the highest growing sport for young girls. the england and wales cricket board told me they are investing in

foreign ball cricket and encouraging women to take up coaching, but will this go far enough? i'm madly, bbc school sports reporter for bbc spotlight. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. goodbye for now. thanks to our sports colleagues. let me bring you more on that breaking news about a bridge collapse in florida. there are now reports from the cbs affiliate in miami that there have been several deaths as a result of the collapse of a pedestrian bridge. it crosses southwest eighth st and it was reportedly only installed on saturday, so it is only a matter of

pleased that there is now a consensus that backs the british view that russia was behind this. the nato secretary general was residing here today, nato ambassadors heard of britain from the british national—security adviser and i asked whether the moment had come to move from rhetoric to words. it's important to express strong political support for the uk, sending a message that they are not alone, we stand to gather and this is a serious attack on individuals in the uk but also a blatant and serious violation of norms and rules which are important for the security of all of us, so there is strong expression of solidarity and support is impossible in itself. britain is not alone.

that is good news for british diplomats, who insists there has now been agreement that russia was behind it, that something needs to behind it, that something needs to be done. when it comes to actions, they point out the level of the knob is already turned quite high in terms of sanctions against russia because of eu sanctions imposed over ukraine and the earlier alexander litvinenko case, but they are also looking with their allies to see what further practical steps can be taken to bring the pressure on moscow taken to bring the pressure on m oscow eve n taken to bring the pressure on moscow even higher. let's take a look at the weather prospects, an interesting weekend there have been contrasting fortunes on the weather front across the british isles through the day and
